Evaluation of a PCR Method for Detection of Entamoeba polecki, with an Overview of Its Molecular Epidemiology

1 Mar 2018

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Entamoeba polecki is a parasite of human and nonhuman primates, other mammals, and birds. Due to overlapping morphological features, cysts of E. polecki may be confused with those of other Entamoeba species commonly found in human fecal samples, including immature cysts of Entamoeba histolytica . Although the presence of E. polecki in human Entamoeba -positive stool samples may be rare, its prevalence is...
